Historical Norwegian truss bridge retrofit, an IDEA StatiCa case study with Aas-Jakobsen
IDEA StatiCa case study: Aas-Jakobsen's restoration of the 1933 Nisja truss bridge in Sunndal kommune, Møre og Romsdal in Norway required a masterful blend of heritage conservation and modern structural engineering. Read the story!
The teaching challenge: Balancing theory with practical applications
While theoretical emphasis is key in universities, Assistant Professor Jomar Tørset at NTNU advocates for including practical examples to engage students and accelerate their understanding. Drawing from his industry experience, he uses software like Tekla Structures, SAP2000, and IDEA StatiCa to bridge the theory-practice gap, enabling students to apply knowledge effectively in the field.
Short documentary: Robotics in mining, how to get return on investment?
VIDEO DOCUMENTARY: Robot dog Spot from Boston Dynamics is used by Norwegian contractor LNS to make mining safer, more efficient and sustainable. See the film to learn HOW!
This short video documentary/report dives in to the ROI aspect of this Spot project - both in terms of cost savings and financial aspects, but also other, less quantifiable values realised through this project.
Skanska makes construction of E18 Vestkorridoren easier with apps from BuildingPoint
